The 17 best free attractions in Coffs Harbour

Stopped here for a break on our way back to Sydney. There's so much to do here for all ages, you could spend the whole day here! It's one giant fun park! The souvenir shop is packed with all sorts of goodies ranging from hats, soft toys, cups, pens, stickers, key rings, fridge magnets, t-shirts, stationary items, tea towels etc. Cafe has a good variety of hot and cold food, drinks, milkshakes, and snacks. Plenty of parking.

An entire day well spent last wk. Bought the Ultimate Pass for the family online. Rocked up before ticket box/activities opened to get a good car park. Thankfully, NSW school holidays hadn't yet started so wasn't too busy. Took the entire day to be able to experience all activities included in the Ultimate Pass, including saving the Arcade Room till after 4pm when all other areas had closed. Only downers were: 1 the expensive meals, 2 the Toboggan wasn't open, and 3 the ice skates were too narrow. Even after going up a size, had to regularly sit down and take the weight off. Will need to return when the Toboggan opens.

We had an awesome day at The Big Banana Fun Park – fantastic facilities, plenty of fun, and most of the staff were absolutely wonderful! Unfortunately, our experience was dampened by an encounter with the café manager, Tanya. I have a coconut allergy, and I could clearly detect traces of coconut (likely from cross-contamination with previous flavours). Rather than showing any concern, understanding, or basic duty of care, Tanya was immediately hostile, dismissive, and completely unwilling to help. She refused to offer a replacement, refund, or even acknowledge the potential seriousness of the situation, and her attitude was both unprofessional and unacceptable, especially for someone in a managerial position. As former café owners, we know exactly what good customer service looks like and this was the complete opposite. In any hospitality setting, especially when it comes to allergies, empathy and responsibility are non-negotiable. Thankfully, duty manager James went above and beyond to resolve the situation. He handled everything with professionalism, ensured we were looked after, and even gave my little one a bag of bananas for the long trip home to Brisbane - such a thoughtful gesture! It’s thanks to the rest of the fantastic team members and James’ outstanding service that this review is 4 stars instead of 1. They truly turned a negative situation into a positive experience, and we’re incredibly grateful for their care and professionalism. 👏🍌

Timed season / play time can we , depending on numbers, well worth it or a little disappointing. Wait times for a slide can exceed 30min or so. Given 2 hours, 2 - 4 slides can be a maximum. But for smaller kids or kids who enjoy the splash area, 2 hours for the price is well worth it. There is a lot to do overall at the big banana if you have the time and the funds. But it is definitely worth visiting If your not willing to wait a while, or pay the price for meals, its easily enough to bring your own.

This is a perfect fun park for the family with kids, as parents can join with them and have fun. I saw the kids really enjoying all the rides . However, if you are solo, or young couple without kids you guys may feel boredom as there is nothing to make your adrenaline rushing. Adults, they surely enjoy the self guided tour through the banana plantations. Staff are really courteous, good accessibility from highway, ample parking facilities are really good.

If you are visiting Coffs harbour and travelling with kids... this is where you want to be! There is a plethora of fun activities and games especially for the kids here. Of course, if you are enthusiastic about banana trees/plantation etc then there's plenty here for adults too. We stopped by here for a short visit during our road trip from QLD to Melbourne. It was amazing to see the kids enjoying themselves especially in the gaming arcade area. Souvenir shop, cafe and clean wash rooms are also available here along with plenty of free parking.

My Wife and myself visited the Banana Plantation here was a self guided tour that took about 30 minutes, where you see all the banana plants and learn about the history here at the big banana. Enjoyed our tour here and definitely recommend the visit great to learn about the history of the big banana. Family friendly place to visit too.

Didn't even know this place existed but holy crap the views from up here are good. Site is really well maintained and the drive up is also quite pleasant. Treetops is also up here which is great for the kids, just be mindful it can be busy on the school holidays.

The view of the Pacific Ocean and Coffs harbour city from the forest pier is really exhilarating. This elevated platform gives you Birds Eye view of the valley. This place has the amenities such as ample car parking, toilet and a gazebo like structure where people can sit and enjoy their food. There is no any coffee shop or refreshment shop in this area so being your food and drinks. Moreover, if you got a binocular please take to get a close view of the foothills.

Fantastic viewpoint overlooking Coffs coast You can park inside the gate and walk on the path through the forest or drive along to the viewpoint The bridge is constructed to overlook the forest and give views up and down the coast

Beautiful lookout with a suspension "pier" hanging over the edge. Very nicely updated with the environment in mind. The cafe was closed but it looked like a great spot for a picnic with plenty of tables scattered about. Bring cash and keep an eye out for the little vege stalls on the road up selling avocados and bananas!

Ive been here before in summer and came again years later with my daughter.. make sure you read the signs to get to this lication as the road works have made it hard with signage to follow. Google maps even had trouble navigating to get proper firections due to the terrible road works. Once you are there the biews are spectacular. It is a little windy on the road coming up to it. Winding through the banana plantation and the state forest on the other side. There is a small cafe at the top for coffee tea hot chocolate and small snacks. Further back on the road there is tree hopping. Its a must see location as it is very pretty . The area is very clean and its free . No problems with parking.

Beautiful views and lovely pier/bridge. Loads of parking and there is a toilet nearby. Cafe was not open today.

Breathtaking views from up to the top. You can take your car till the lookout point. We did the smallest 35 min trail, I believe the Gumgali track that goes from the the left of the lizard's picture near the treetop adventure. It was a short, quiet and nice walk to a beautiful lookout point.

Ample parking, beach shower and boardwalk. Lovely little spot for a dip. Some fun rock pools to explore. The beach was clean and quiet, bins for waste around as well. Great stop off for a quick dip!

Beautiful little beach, fun beach break if you surf

Very good place for surfers. Lovely beach.

Great beach. And, despite Google's somewhat odd prompt, there is no need to buy tickets - in advance or otherwise. It's a beach.

Diggers is paradise. We always love visiting, if you're lucky you can even nab a shady spot on the sand down the southern end. Decent toilets, showers, shady carparks, and a coffee cart if you go at the right time of day makes it perfect for a family. Sadly dogs not allowed.

Our local. We love this place. The people (mostly) are amazing, friendly and warm. Beach is generally favourable for surf and swim.

Great beach for the family.

Really nice place with lots of different butterflies to see. It was super interesting and we learned a lot about them as we walked around. We didn’t try the café but it looked really cute. The dinosaur show was funny, and interactive. Would definitely recommend, especially for families with little kids.

Gorgeously decorated. Very nice owners and friendly staff. Will definitely have to check out the cafe next time. The dinosaur show was great and the butterfly house was amazing too!! My absolute favourite was the cafe though

I visited today and had the most amazing time. Such a great place for kids but there is something here for everyone. If you stopped and searched the leaves, there were butterflies everywhere, blending in with their surroundings. So many other things to look at and take in. The staff were so friendly and funny. Wonderful experience. Quirky and fun. Everyone should stop by the butterfly house when passing. ❤️🦋🦕🦖🪄🧚

My daughter is a big lover of dinosaurs and butterflies so this is an absolutely magical experience for her! Warmer days are best for the butterflies - as to be expected as that’s how it is in nature! Regardless you will still get to see butterflies. The Gerald dinosaur show is a favourite, I highly recommend. Stick around after the show and you get to meet one of the resident baby dinosaurs or Hiccups the baby unicorn. My daughter adores them all (we know each of them by name), we always give them a pat and have a great experience with both them and their lovely caretaker. There’s a playground area out past the cafe which is perfect for the kids to play while waiting for lunch. Biggest display of dinosaurs on the coast and the animated ones are so realistic.

My wife and I visited recently to see the butterflies and while it was a pleasant outing overall, I personally felt a little underwhelmed for the price of admission. The butterfly house itself was interesting as you do get to see a variety of butterflies up close and it is a unique experience, but for adults without children the value just did not quite feel worth the cost. Families with kids would probably get a lot more out of it as little ones would likely be fascinated and entertained for longer. One highlight for us was the Alice in Wonderland themed cafe. The decorations were charming and whimsical and it is a fun spot to grab a drink or a bite to eat. The nice thing is you do not have to pay an entry fee to enjoy the cafe, so that part alone could make for a cute stop even if you decide to skip the butterfly house. Be prepared for the conditions inside the butterfly enclosure as it is intentionally hot and humid to suit the butterflies environment, and you will leave feeling sweaty. The enclosure does make for a lovely spot to take some colorful photos. There is also a dinosaur section on the grounds that would definitely appeal to families with children. While we did enjoy our visit overall, I think the price to value ratio felt a little off for us.

A beautiful and enchanting place to visit, especially for families with children. The park is home to a wide variety of butterflies, and when they apply a special nectar on your hands, you may find honey butterflies gently landing on you—it’s a magical experience! It’s truly a unique and immersive environment where children lose track of time and don’t want to leave. The joy of watching butterflies up close and even having them rest on your hands creates memories that last a lifetime. There are two Maze one is mirror maze and other wooden open to sky, Italian style. While the overall experience is delightful, the entry fee is on the higher side, which may be a consideration for some. However, there is a café inside where you can grab a bite and relax, making it a pleasant spot to spend a few hours. Perfect for a weekend outing, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a peaceful, colorful escape.

Gorgeous place to visit such a family orientated amazing adventure. The staff are all happy and very efficient. So much to see and so much to do. Thanks guys most definitely will be back

After decades of driving past, we finally decided to drop in and it was definitely worth it. Was great to walk around and look at the miniatures and the pancakes were absolutely amazing. Will definitely make sure to stop in again at the cafe in the near future 😃 Picture is of a half size serving of pancakes. Delicious 😍

Great accomodation, good location close to shops, beaches and tourist attractions in Coffs Harbour. Clog barn was great nice Dutch themed place and amount of work to make look like it does is amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone to visit and stay very budget friendly too! My wife and myself enjoyed our stay here

We visited the pit stop attraction of house figurines & cafe. It is very admirable that the owners put so much care and thought into this shop. It is very calm and well maintained. P.S. the lizards are real ! Not statues 🦎😬

Loved it. $45 for campervan, powered and choice of grass or slab. It's a very small friendly park in Coffs Harbour, basic, but clean. Wifi works, fast enough to stream. Parks tend to blur into each other after travelling a long time, however this one's so unique I'll remember it forever. The miniature village, free to visit, is well worth visiting even if you don't stay.

We didn't stay in the hotel but did visit the clog barn. It's a lovely place and a lot of work has gone into it. We really enjoyed it! Definitely worth a visit. It's a little tricky to get to without a car but 20 minutes walk from the city centre

Went to the tourist attraction which was a great experience. In the shop, there is a live demo of how a clog is made, which was very informative and interesting. To view the miniature Dutch houses/ palaces / buildings etc and windmills, one has to go through the shop. There is no entry fee to view the buildings. It is very well kept and lovely to see.

A great little spot in Coffs Harbour! The Clog Barn has a really welcoming atmosphere, delicious coffee, and a fun miniature Dutch village to explore. Loved watching the clog-making demonstration—such a unique experience. Definitely worth a visit!

The botanical garden was absolutely wonderful, vast, yet cleverly designed pathways made exploring a breeze, no getting lost here! A treasure trove of trees and plants, and super helpful engravings and descriptions dotted around. Stunningly beautiful, this garden's a perfect chill-out spot for both adults and kids to wander, soak up the nature vibes, and go at their own pace. They also have a lovely cafe and souvenir shop to round off the visit. A must-visit for anyone looking to get lost in the loveliness of nature.

Such a beautiful place to visit for a stroll through nature. I enjoyed the different themed areas, with my favourites being the glasshouse/orchid room and the New South Wales natives. The walking tracks were well maintained and it was good that a lot of the trees and plants were labelled. Beautiful time of year to visit during Spring before it gets too hot (Sep/Oct).

This is a beautiful place to wander through, it is a well maintained & a well planned layout with lots of wonderful trees & plants including a very pretty Japanese garden with a lagoon & bridge! A new cafe has opened here just recently which does great coffee & a fairly extensive savoury & sweet selection of snacks & food! 👍👏🌟

This is a MUST SEE if you're in the region. These gardens were featured on TV Better Homes and Gardens show recently (October 2024), and as we were holidaying in the area decided to visit. What a magnificent Botanical Garden. I couldn't believe we didn't know this place existed after visiting the area for years. A beautiful experience to wander through the variety of themed gardens, a greenhouse, and a beautiful Japanese Garden with bridge and pavilion - so serene. Well made sign posted paths (wheelchair ♿ friendly) and information boards. Plenty of seating, shade, green space, picnic spots and public facilities 🚻. Suitable for all ages and a rare thing - ✨FREE entry🌳🌴🌷✨ There are information brochures and a donation box at entry point which I didn't hesitate to drop a note 💵 in. I would encourage a donation to help sustain this nature treasure. The gardens are maintained by 180 volunteers and 1 paid worker - an incredible feat. I'll be back with a picnic 🧺 next visit.

We had the best morning at the gardens. Patsy was wonderful, she went out of her way to accommodate us for my Nans 91st Birthday. She drove us in the buggy to the Japanese gardens where we enjoyed our picnic basket of cakes and coffees from the leaf and bean cafe. So many beautiful areas with different designs to explore. The 3 children loved it as well. Thank you for the memories.

This is an unusual botanic garden in that there is much more forest than sculpted gardens. Having said that, it is really lovely with lots of places to explore. The cafe was great too, fabulous muffins!

Beautiful gardens. Loved all the different regions, in particular the Japanese garden, just so peaceful. Really great to have such a beautiful place to come explore the plant and enjoy the serentu.

Very well done to protect the island and to make the walk easy for the people walking. Great views

Need a decent level of fitness to get up there as the path is pretty steep. Great views though,well worth a visit

Wow…. What a scenic place, no words to describe the importance and beauty of this place. Walk to the summit demands some fitness, also the ammonia smell of birds dropping may make you going back, but once you reach the top of this Island the view is absolutely stunning. I spotted humpback whales in the Pacific Ocean, myriads of burrows of a bird species called shearwater, also you can take photos from the erected platform The view of Coffs harbour marina and fishing harbour from this island is mesmerising. I recommend it as a must visit place

great place to see the harbour. very windy but a great place to jog too. it's very steep therefore challenging. and if you're lucky you get to see some whales .

You know you’re alive and how unfit you are when you start to head up the steep paved slope to the viewing area. So many shearwater nests along the cliff face of the island. Didn’t see any shearwaters but did see a magnificent Brahminy Kite just hovering then diving, a bird called a Pipit and a blue tongue lizard. The view is 360 degrees and I thought beautiful. From there you can walk along the boardwalk down a steep slope to another viewing area. People were fishing off the rocks at the base of the cliff. Have no idea how they got there. There are boards at the entrance to the island which has lots of interesting info on it as well as some at the viewing platform. Panoramic photos of the coastline pointing out places of interest. Yearly cycle of the shearwater and how they nest. Reasonably cool up there so a jumper might be a good idea. Free admission and you must stay on the paths. Would recommend and then a stop at fisherman’s coop for a serve of fish and chips.

100% worth the drive there, the beautiful views and their paths make it an easy climb. A must-visit... The only thing that made the experience bad was the irresponsibility of dog owners. The path/boardwalk leading to Muttonbird Island was littered with dog excrement, there was even excrement rubbed into the concrete. This is not okay, pet owners have no right to ruin the money, hard work, or planning, for all involved in building the infrastructure and beautification for a safer pathway. Mother Nature did her best to create Muttonbird Island and the Coffs Harbour council put a lot of effort into making it accessible to all. It is rude and downright disgusting because pet owners are too selfish and lazy to clean up after their dogs. Thumbs up to Muttonbird Island but a big thumbs down to the irresponsible pet owners. Maybe the best way to fix the problem is to ban dogs altogether. I'll let my photos speak for the beauty of Muttonbird Island.

Must visit spot when visiting Coffs Harbour. Muttonbird Island has a great view from up top. The start of the walk is very step but once you get past that there is a narrow paved and raised deck to walk along. If you are lucky you my see some whales. Plenty of information around to give you some interesting facts and stories. The walk is approx 4km loop when parking the Coffs Jetty Foreshore.

It’s a must visit spot if you love the nature sightseeing place. Coffs Harbour is an ideal stopover on your road trip to QLD. Winter time me and my boyfriend be there at 4:30ish the view is stunning. Appreciate the beautiful world and the quality time we spent together.

Always worth the effort! It’s a steep walk over Muttonbird Island but the views are amazing. The ideal spot for whale watching in season, the closest you’ll get to them from land. Take your binoculars! There are great cafes at the marina or Jetty beach for a drink before or after your walk. There is no entry free. There are regulations as it is a nature reserve. For those with mobility issues, who cannot tackle the steep pathways on either end of the island, or for those walking dogs (who aren’t allowed on the island itself) you will find a flat, long J-shaped path (cement and then bitumen) along the marina with views of the moored yachts, people fishing or snorkelling, the jetty and base of the island. There is some shade and seats at the base of the island, before you head up the steep path.

This is one of the most beautiful sights I have seen in Coffs Harbour, I spent a long time in the Bird's Nest World, it was like a bird community, very magical! There are many bird holes, and birds will go in and out, so don't scare them because they will be afraid. In addition, there is a restaurant and a cafe, it is worth spending a wonderful breakfast or afternoon with your family or couple!

A great little scenic walk which takes us up the hill to a look out spot, where one can view the distant hills of Coffs Harbour. The oceanic views are wonderful from atop the hill. The local birds also nest in the hills.

Gorgeous views from the top Lots of birds and whales passing in the distance from the top of the island

We aim to take a walk here when visiting Coffs Harbour. When walking to or from Muttonbird Island, a walk along the Marinara walkway is great for spotting all sorts of fish.

Great look out with a leg burning walk to the top great sunset spot lighting up the mountain range

Great for a walk to see boats and marine life. I can't comment on mooring a boat as I don't have one, but place is always clean. If have the opportunity to visit I highly recommend it.

Gorgeous marine Park, lots of fish swimming around. Nice at sunrise or sunset

Beautiful area, very scenic. The Solitary Islands Coastal Walk is worth the effort.

vhrystal waters, fresh breezes, wild sea birds, dolphins can be seen, opportinities for water activites, variety of marine life is awesome!

Lovely beach with roar sea waves and fantastic nature.

Easy and relaxing walk to Muttonbird island

Mesmerising experience. Awesome facilities and neat place

This skate park has an amazing skating facility open to the public. It has public toilets, handwash station, a filter water bubbler, and has a covered bench area and has rubbish bins some other facilities for the kids to play in the play area; has a barbecue place. And a very nice lush green garden with lots of trees and beautification maintained very well. Also has parking spaces for the cars open to the public. Next to the roadside opposite Genesis fitness centre.

A really great atmosphere and fun spot , getting there nice and early we beat the hot sun and the youth to have a skate around!

It is a very nice park that is suitable for many ages. There are bathrooms nearby and also a water fountain. It's an opened layout allowing plenty of space for the kids to run around. The equipment is relatively well maintained, a very small amount of vandalism, unfortunately. Highly recommend if you need a place to burn off some steam for the kids.

Really amazing park with a huge variety of options for all ages, as well as toilets, lots of green space, a skate park, supermarket, and much more!

Can’t believe they removed the car park, less parking so not worth going to it now. The council were supposed to upgrade the tennis courts but they let them go to ruin. There’s only skating for teenagers yet other sports like basketball & netball courts could be erected with all the space going to waste. As there’s no free basketball courts anywhere in town (even half court) and netball courts are shut to the public too. Appalling spending money on what?

No off street parking anymore . You have to unload children on a busy street IF you can find a park anywhere near it . Park was completely empty compared to what it use to be. Also badly needed mowing.

Bubbler, water bottle refill, sunscreen vending machine starting at 50c, loads of elements to the playground for varying ages and abilities. A couple of picnic tables, and picnic benches scattered around for tired parents. The path throughout is a dragon if you can get an eagle eye view.

Love this place to venture out for a walk and relax especially at whale time. Take time out and forget your worries. Sit in peace and gaze at the ocean where the boats cross the channel to find their own adventure. Fishing boats, yachts and if you're lucky you may see a luxury boat arrive or depart as one con only dream.

Set in a beautiful area, the foreshore has been upgraded to a world class place to visit. Nature abounds. Beaches. Parkland, and a good walk to mutton bird Island, facilities are well set out. Cafes, etc are here. Come and enjoy!

Best view of Coffs imp and a beautiful walk. A bit steep if you got kids who can't walk well or need carrying. Also might be a struggle for others who aren't used to steep walks. Sight overlooks the city and in the right season has whales. Worth the effort to relax and take in the creation.

Beautiful place to go for a walk, swim in the ocean, stroll along the beach, breakfast at the cafe or lunch and dinner at the 2 clubs at either end on the foreshore or local fish a chips, chuck the kids on the 2 playground and sit down and enjoy that coffee from the coffee cart that sits between the playground nearly every day of the week or go for a walk at sunrise across the jetty, go for a walk up muttonbird island or even visit the market on every Sunday. Just a really great place as a all rounder but as a local i was so upset when they cut down all of the beautiful big trees ( not much shade now). xo

I don’t know how many times I came here. But this time is so special because we had an event. Special for our small community. -Harvest Festival for Sabahan.

The Coffs Jetty Family Carnival is held every December. Good place for kids hangout right at the Foreshore with some nice rides and food trucks/ outlets. Contact tracing for Covid is managed well at the moment.

Great place for all of the family to enjoy, good facilities, playgrounds, dog leash free area, cafe's, the jetty, boatramp, Yacht Club, markets on a Sunday, enjoy a coffee and pancakes at the pancake bus, exercise equipment. Strongly recommend to locals and visitors

This park is hard to beat on location, walk across to the beach and the park itself has great features the kids loved. The let down for us though was the cabin cleanliness, and I'm not talking just the 'older feel' but outright dirty. Turn the shower on and watch the dirt was across the floor, have to clean down actual dirt off the kids mattresses before making the beds, physical dust layers across the skirtings and light switches, mould on the back of the bathroom door and the floor literally gritty underfoot. Retrain the cleaners and this is a cracking park. And to finish on a positive, the staff were great but the fact the after hours bloke saw us drive in and took the time to introduce himself and let us he's around etc. That shows me they do care about their guests. Hopefully we just copped a poor clean during a busy schedule.

Lovely park. So well organized, even sending a plan of where your caravan should be situated on site. Permanents separated from holiday makers. Such a great location, close to beach, river shops and walks. Great swimming pool and playground for kids . Very clean amenities. I would recommend .

Rented a campsite for our campervan during a road trip. The grounds were nice and well maintained. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The pool was great - especially for kids. What was very disappointing (and is preventing me from giving a 5 star review) is that the website says that they are able to accommodate requests for site choice. When booking, we specifically asked for a grassy site with shade and trees (we have a small camper and specified the dimensions). They completely disregarded that and assigned us a site with no shade in sight, surrounded by giant campers. I would understand if that were fully booked… but at the end of the day they had plenty of nice spots in the shade, exactly what we asked for, that remained unoccupied. It’s like they read our request and went out of their way to give us the exact opposite!!

We stayed in a cabin for a night on our way to Queensland and had a very relaxing and comfortable night. The staff were welcoming and very helpful and our cabin was very clean and had everything that we needed. The park is well maintained and very quiet for a great nights sleep. While we didn't get to use the other park facilities, there is an onsite cafe, great pool, and family-friendly activities for all. We have stayed before and will again in the future.

Great location!! Amazing park. The pool was so good the kids loved it and being so close to the beach was so easy. Really lovely activity staff for the kids. The disappointment was the amenities. Always dirty!!!!! No matter what time we went, they were always gross. Filthy floors, showers and toilets. Especially at the pool!! My little one had an accident because of how dirty the pool toilet was, there was something (….) smeared all on the seat, then when we tried walking to the toilet blocks she couldn’t hold it any longer. Poor thing was really embarrassed. I understand someone could mess it up even after the cleaners have just left but every time we needed a toilet we’d have to try find a better one. Really disappointing and just unsanitary. Oh and the pool area had a decking section with lounge chairs. It ALWAYS smelt like urine. Everytime we walked past I gagged. People are on holidays and something like this just ruins an experience completely. Also the cafe was good however multiple days their never had coffee or chai… really disappointing and just odd to run out of that.

Park was nice enough with plenty of facilities and things for the kids to do but 1 big let down was the toilets and showers. All of them had a weird smell and weird layout. Not very clean at the best of times. Also not much lighting over the far side past the playground towards the toilet blocks. Have to use a torch of a night time to get to the toilets as not enough lighting only near the toilets.

Great holiday park - plenty to do for families: pool, jumping pillow, pedal carts, games room and daily movie. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely open space for family to enjoy the sun, toilets available mac, BBQ and playground there too. Nice spot for a splash and Sunday bbq

Reserve of grass Even a funny alittle slide 🐙. Swim in creek or beach👙🩳. Even ample parking. Really better off taking food. Vast area so lots of space so Everyone could be safe.

Park Beach Reserve A beautiful location featuring open, well-maintained grassy areas and tall, shady trees. There’s a great playground for kids and easy access to very shallow, protected waters with clean sand — perfect for little ones to play safely while parents can relax and keep a close eye on them.

We went there for the food markets this Friday afternoon and it was a great find. Parking did get a bit tricky for some but we got there early. Plenty of food trucks, with different options. Birds sang from the trees while puppies and doggos hung out with their friends. The place was an eclectic mix of families, couples older folk enjoying wines and people having an afternoon swim. Such a great spot. Sunny with plenty of trees for shade. The perfect spot for a week chill

A fantastic place to have a family day out. Safe for children at low and high tide. Though they still need supervision. Everything about this place is fantastic. We love visiting this place. I have lost count of how many times we have With our kayak, portable BBQ and even food from local restaurants make our visit much more enjoyable. Never short of fun or sustenance. Highly recommended 👌🏼

Park Beach is a wonderful place for family gatherings. I will always treasure this beautiful area. I only ever want to see the trees grow and no further developments.

My daughter wish to go toilet. So I google the nearest. And then she saw beautiful beach and cool blue slide. She had fun day at there. And luckily of us, met a lovely couple to help us. I forgot my car key in my car. Thank you so much Janne and her partner. 💕

This is a very nice area for a full day with picnic, kayaking, paddle boarding and a safe swim for kids. Dogs allowed on leash, but if you cross over the bridge you can leave them off leash and in the water. There is a kiosk open until 4pm, for your basics. There is also a table tennis set and a playground, BBQ, showers and very clean toilets. From there you can take the coastal walk for very gorgeous views. We visited on a partly cloudy day and it wasn’t crowded at all. I guess it could get much busier in warmer weather.

Beautiful spot to come relax and go for a walk or swim Beach is clean and easy to get to with plenty of parking available

Great for the kids but watch the outbound currents in the channel, they can be strong. Something also cool about stand up boarding whist a goods train roars above your head.

Easy creek access, toilet, and BBQ's with shower when washing off after your sea swim. Entry fee of $8 per vehicle for us was worth it, plenty of seating to eat our packed lunch. Boambee Creek is just perfect, we used our SUP too and dog friendly.

Such a cool spot. Much less windy then the main beaches, great with kids who can paddle in shallow water and even allows dogs to best spot for families on Coffs coast

Nice slow stream shallow river. Gentle paddle upstream and then let the stream float you back down. Saw one stingray in the water. A couple of billabongs. You might need to drag the kayak a bit where water is too shallow. Just let the water float and take your wherever, rather than paddle yourself into somewhere too shallow. If you like fishing there are a couple of small side platforms for fishing. Toilet is on site. $5 entry fee into the park. Paid at gate using credit card. Or you can just park outside on the street and walk in free about a 100m walk.

A place perfect for a full day of family fun. The reserve has something for everyone - adults, kids and teens. Safe waters, plenty of parking, a cafe, kayak and surf board hiring and a railway bridge. Water is quite safe for young kids and entry of shade. Reserve also has a few BBQ areas and toilets onsite.

This is a great play area for the kids to play, so much for them to do and run around. They serve good coffee and hot/cold food and snacks. The staff are friendly. The toilets are as clean as you would expect with children using them but could do with some sort of air freshener in there. I expect it will get hot in the summer months but they have big ceiling fans over the seating area.

Such a great spot for kids. My grandkids aged 4 and 6 had a fantastic 2+ hours here. Plenty of play areas to entertain themselves. Very Reasonable prices for entry and food in comparison to other school holiday activities.

Well priced and good seating for parents. But it is highly misleading as this is a church run business. I went on their website before attending and there is no mention of this anywhere. We already arrived and the kids expectations were high, so despite it going against my values, we went in. I feel that they should be upfront about this. And we won't be coming back.

A good range of activities for children and toddlers. No aircon in main space means it gets warm during the day, and older children can be rough when using the equipment. Staff are great, prices reasonable.

Great for toddlers throu to maybe age 10. Heaps of climbing, sliding, throwing balls dancing. Plenty of tables for mum and dads also food and drinks can be purchased.

Wow, so glad we stopped by to check it out. It has pretty much everything you could want from an indoor play area. The coffee was good and there was plenty of food to choose from. Lots of kid friendly options too, vegemite sandwiches, fruit, poppers. The play area was clean and had lots of areas for the kids to explore. They also have a quiet sensory area, and have mother's group catch ups regularly. Oh and lots of parking out the back.

Great place for the kids. Cheap !! Good service and great coffee

This is my favourite walk in Coffs Harbour! No other place i have found allows you to fully appreciate the majesty of the North Coast and Pacific Ocean in a mere half hour walk. Lots of black cockatoos here of a morning and wallabies on the walking trail every now and then which is very cool to see! Every person you pass greets you with a smile. And it is the best place to view the sunrise from the cliffs!

Great walk along the coast with plenty of views and beaches to pass through. If you are lucky you can get some whale watching in too along the walk.

Beautiful walk that goes in forever if you're that keen! Even on an overcast and cloudy day it was gorgeous. The walk is flat and paved, so offers v little challenge, if any, to those not fit. Not sure about disability access though, as getting to the walk appears to be from the beach.

Excellent walk, possible suicide location. Views are best at dusk/ dawn. Whale and dolphin watching hotspot.

Pristine sunsets, birdlife, wallabies, quiet coves, beaches for surfing and swimming 🙏👍 littered with coastal banksia

Beautiful sceneries along the Coastal trail! Suitable for family !

Lovely place for a morning family walk. When the tide has gone out there’s Little Rock pools where you can find little sea creatures and explore for hours.
